How to improve your existing pipeline for somatic mutation analysis, interpretation and reporting: Part 1 (Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia)

We are excited to bring thought leaders, NGS experts, lab directors, variant scientists, clinicians, and oncologists under one virtual roof at our second annual Clinical Oncology Summit hosted on April 27 and May 18, 2023.

The two-part, content-rich event will feature invited lectures from lab directors and clinical geneticists, thought-provoking discussions on the future of comprehensive genomic profiling, and educational presentations on the latest databases, software, and services for somatic secondary and tertiary analysis. Designed to help clinical diagnostic labs understand how they can optimize their current pipelines for somatic NGS analysis, interpretation and reporting, the Clinical Oncology Summit is a must-attend event for labs who need to reduce turnaround time, improve operational costs, and scale for higher throughput.
